Coscom Grade A EVA Foam
EVA Foam is the staple of every cosplayer and is more durable and cost effective than most thermoplastics. It is used to make armor and props and is available in different thicknesses and densities depending on your project. When selecting our EVA Foam, we wanted to make sure we chose a foam that is well suited to the special demands of cosplay. We narrowed down our search to ten manufacturers and put them through a series of thirty tests to see which performed the best. Tests included the quality of the foam, the surface smoothness, how well the foam can be glued, how easily the surface can be carved, how well it heat seals, and even how easily it reforms after being compressed! After three months of testing, the clear winner is now our Coscom low density (EVA 38) and high density (EVA 60 and 70) Grade A Foam and it beats the competition hands down on price and performance.
(Gluing Instructions) For the longest lasting glued seams, we recommend using a contact adhesive such as Barge®. Spread a thin coat on both faces of the foam you wish to bond. Smooth over with a piece of scrap foam and allow to fully dry. This will seal the open cells and provide a strong anchor for the second coat. Apply a second coat to both sides of the seam and smooth again with scrap foam. Allow the glue 30 seconds to 1 min to set and become tacky. Work from one end of the seam to the other slowly pressing the edges together until you reach the end. Please note, there is a manufacturing tolerance against each sheet so there may be small variations from the thickness's stated.
